A) The Centers for Disease Control: It was formed July 1st, 1946 and the purpose it was created was to protect people from diseases such as Malaria. It’s current purpose is public health protection, they also educate people so they can make important decisions regarding health, and provides knowledge on how to avoid how to avoid infectious diseases. In a nutshell, their main purpose is to educate the people of the US on how to improve their health.

The Food and Drug Administration was founded June 30th, 1906. Its initial purpose was to pass the pure food and drugs act. The Pure Food and Drugs act banned labels on food products that had false information on the labels. Its current function is to make sure all food labels are correctly printed and to educate people on how to take better care of their body. Everyone benefits from this organization, because if they had false ingredients on the label and someone happened to be allergic to the one of the ‘hidden’ ingredients they could get hurt. Besides its never a bad thing to know what you’re putting in your body, and I think this organization is useful, because now we can know the nutritional facts in the food we eat are true, so now it’s easier to watch your weight because people can just check the labels.

Anyone could benefit from this but mostly people who have dangerously active sex...
